He's native advertising or an AstroTurfer. He probably just got paid.

@chingalera Cenk is a person like you or I trying to figure a way out of this mess; I don't think the personal attacks help your argument. Most of us are wrong from time to time. It's one of the things that makes us human.

Now the real point: I have an issue with the "reasonable rate" being undefined. Payday loans are predatory and being in the business, regardless of rate, is a scary proposition. If they would double as a credit union I wouldn't have as much of an issue, but without an outright profit motive we can't do a thing in this society anymore. Even this proposal seeks to usurp the existing payday loan profits for the governments coffers... just at a more "reasonable" rate. There is no rate on a payday loan is reasonable; cashing a check should not cost interest.

Which leads to a greater point: We live in an era where we cannot implement decent ideas for the greater good of humanity because the current market can't bear it. What have we wrought here? Who/what are we serving?

Give me a break.

This comment thread needs more anger directed at strangers who aren't reading this. That'll fix it!

There's a huge difference between urban and rural dialect, particularity in the mid-west that isn't reflected in this video. Some of these examples emphasize stereotypes that are actually in the minority. Fun none the less though.
